JR Thomas Memorial Confined Novice Stakes

Very easy winner of a novice event here on firm ground last time, which was a much-improved performance. Carries a penalty this time, but a repeat effort would make her very tough to beat.

Cost £600 as a two-year-old. Third foal. Unraced dam closely related to 6f Group 2 winner The Kiddykid and 1m5f/2m AW winner Annus Iucundus from family of French Derby winner Natroun. Stable's first juvenile runner for several seasons. Best watched.

Well beaten last in two runs last month, here over 5½f and at Catterick over 6f. Readily dismissed.

Has shown a bit of promise on a couple of occasions, but couldn't do so when well held on handicap debut last time. Reverts to this company with a lot to find with the principal candidate.

Led at a good clip for a fair way on debut and was eased when beaten, eventually being 15½L eleventh of 12. Can anticipate some improvement, though likely to have to wait for other days.
